That Dude Posted Thursday at 12:05 AM Posted Thursday at 12:05 AM There's always something new to learn, and tonight I'm digging into the gear that Green Day used when recording Insomniac. Pretty interesting, as I've rarely thought about what mics and amps they used. There's a lot of info out there about that as well as the guitar, bass and drum set ups they had. Just realized that all of the band's songs with "American" in the title have their most controversial lyrics. Hmm. 1 Quote

Gwen Stacy Posted Thursday at 02:53 AM Posted Thursday at 02:53 AM Father of All Motherfuckers is Green Day’s Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. No, I will not elaborate any further. 3 Quote
Saviour Posted Thursday at 03:32 PM Posted Thursday at 03:32 PM Would love to see Redundant back on the setlist. Full band version, not the stripped back one from the Nimrod tour or acoustic version that was played during the 21cb tour (neither work or do the song justice IMO). The version we got on the BBC sessions. The song has been criminally underused by the band. 4 Quote

jengd Posted yesterday at 11:41 AM Posted yesterday at 11:41 AM A question more than a thought. Has anyone put the patches from last year’s shows on anything? How were they? I think I might sew them on my sweatshirt rather than iron in the hope I can save them once sweatshirt dies. 1 Quote

I sewed my London one on a hoodie along with two small Kerplunk and Warning patches I had. It just looks like I'm wearing an England football hoodie/patch to 99.9% of people lol but I like it anyway. Personally I don't trust iron on Edit: https://imgur.com/a/TJr8VA9 1 Quote

They look great you can’t even see the stitches. It’s funny you and @jengd are talking about this I had the exact same thought this week. I have three GD patches, a show patch and two from the Nimrod and the Trilogy box sets. I want to sew them on my old GD/Oakland Coffee sweatshirt I was wondering if that would look good. I think I’m gonna try it now. Did you use a regular size sewing needle or a larger one? Is it hard the get the needle through, the patches are kind of thick? I was wondering if I should use embroidery thread. 2 Quote

I fear ironing them wouldn’t be safe enough for them not to fall off…😅 @pacejunkie punk I use a regular sewing needle, and yes it IS hard work to get it through the patch but I think a thicker needle would be even worse. And I use regular thread, used double. 2 1 Quote

I'm not much of a sewing expert but it was hard as they are quite thick, so if you have the option of a needle that goes through thicker fabric easier it would be a good idea but I agree with @Mollyluna a thicker needle would be worse 3 Quote
jengd Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Patches are a pain to sew on but don’t forget you can make it a little easier on your hands and use a thimble, old fashioned but really helps when they are thick. 2 Quote

I did, but still the needle would slip and get me when I pushed. It was hard but I did it. Here it is! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKm9LwPRIJN/?igsh=bXdlN2ZrMzZhY3A0 4 Quote

Here it is! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKm9LwPRIJN/?igsh=bXdlN2ZrMzZhY3A0 I love that! I actually sew custom patches. I trace the design and sew it by hand (I don't have a sewing machine.) I have sewn Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Star Wars, and I am working on a Slipknot one right now. I always work through the pain of sewing a thick patch onto a clothing item, haha. You did a great job! 4 Quote
